38 Then the priest shall go out to the door of the house and close off the house seven days.
39 The priest shall return on the seventh day and shall examine and see if the disease has spread in the walls of the house.
40 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the disease appears and throw them into an unclean place outside the city.
41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped all around, and they shall pour out the plaster that they scrape off outside the city into an unclean place.
42 And they shall take other stones and put them in the place of those stones, and he shall take other plaster and shall plaster the house.
43 If the disease comes again and breaks out in the house after he has taken away the stones and after he has scraped the house and after it is plastered,
44 then the priest shall come and examine and see if the disease has spread in the house. If the disease has spread in the house, it is a persistent leprosy in the house; it is unclean.
